Lovin` Lake Life! Waterfont Views | Pet Friendly

Bright, comfy, nicely upgraded cottage nestled on desirable Poplar Creek! Relax into a carefree world of peace, natural beauty, fishing and watersports, while also enjoying all the modern amenities. Unplug from the daily grind and experience the unmatched beauty and calming waters of Lake Gaston. You'll see why we are appropriately named "Lovin' Lake Life". 
This happy getaway has three large bedrooms and two baths: a king bed in the primary with en suite bath, two guest rooms with queen beds, one of the queen rooms is further up-fitted with a set of bunk beds for family-friendly sleeping arrangements. The expansive kitchen has been recently remodeled and is stocked with everything that you will need for your stay. Just off of the kitchen/living room is a bright four-season sunroom that overlooks the water. This idyllic room includes a cozy daybed which is a great place to kick back, read a book or catch a nap, a writing desk for anyone needing to check in with work, and a relaxing rocking chair that provides the perfect place to take in the beauty of the surroundings.! It's also a great place to hang out and play board games or cards!  Total accommodation is nine people.  
Step outside on the lakeside deck where you are all set to grill your favorite meals on the gas BBQ. Follow an enchanted, gently winding path that leads to a lighted fire pit by the water! The beautiful boat house has plenty of seating and includes kayaks, a paddle boat, hammock, dining space, and more! The spacious yard area is perfect for group play or a rousing game of cornhole! You are more than welcome to bring your own pontoon to tie off at the dock. If you are in need of a rental boat, we can recommend several boat rental companies in the area.  
Water depth at the dock is 2-3 feet. This home is perfect for kayaking, floating or fishing, but not for jumping off or swimming by the dock. For swimming and jumping into the lake, you’ll want to walk or drive a couple minutes to a great community area with a sandy beach, a slide into the lake, basketball courts, and a playground for kids. The neighborhood country club also offers a swimming pool, tennis/pickleball courts and an 18-hole golf course - all just a couple minutes away and available for a few dollars.
Conveniently located within 5-10 minutes you’ll find:
-Rosemont Winery where you can enjoy a glass of their award winning wine, savor the views, shop their gift store or browse their extensive local arts and crafts gallery!
-Poplar Point Marina featuring the ever popular Shady Shack Grill and Lakeside Bar featuring breathtaking views, drive or boat over to delicious food and drinks, friendly service, and local live music. 
-Holly Grove Marina, famous for their unbelievably generous scoops of ice cream. They also sell bait and tackle, gas, and snacks. 
This little piece of heaven is just the right spot to relax and recharge!
Within 20 minutes you can access:
-Food Lion supermarket
-Walmart Superstore
-South Hill, VA or Littleton, NC both with lots of cute restaurants and shops
For other recommendations, don’t hesitate to reach out and we can share what we know about the area.

Weekend getaway
Loved the house, just as listed. Has everything you need and was easy to find. Shout out to Lester, thank you for being so helpful. Wish every house we stayed at has a welcome book like this house has, it was very useful. I would rent again, however only in fall/winter months. The dock picture needs to be updated, I would have been disappointed if this where summer. The lilly pads have almost taken over the cove. But as stated I would rent again as the house was perfect. Check in and check out very easy.

Well Equipped and Comfortable Lake House
Overall great house for families with older kids/pets and enjoying all that Lake Gaston has to offer! Dock was nicely set up for hanging outdoors and enjoying a peaceful swing by the water. Was great to be able to dock our rented watercraft too! Summer evenings/rain brought plenty of bugs so didn't get to use as often as I hoped, and it was also quite a workout on the long walk from dock to house up a hill. Kitchen was well equipped with plenty of cooking utensils, pots, pans, outdoor grill, and multiple coffee makers (nice to have the option for both k-cups or coffee pot). House had lots of games, good TV service/wifi, and plenty of furniture for comfortable rainy days indoors. The sunroom, which included a daybed with a great view was just that. For anyone considering it an extra bedroom like we thought, just know the room has very little insulation being that it's an enclosed porch and the one air vent in the floor had trouble keeping up. Majority of the sunroom windows don't have curtains/blinds either so little privacy and daylight heats the room up during the day, good thing the area is very shady! Again, nice room just wouldn't consider it a bedroom if you prefer privacy and lower indoor temperature. Beds were older but fairly comfortable with a thick memory foam topper... my husband struggled to sleep b/c he prefers a harder mattress, so just depends on your preference. Property Management was super responsive and we had a great week on the lake staying here!

Charming lake house
Lovin’ Lake Life is a beautiful, clean and charming lake house that was a perfect vacation spot for our family. We especially loved hearing the sounds of nature which varied with the time of day. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, plenty of supplies to enjoy the lake. All that you could ask for in a lake house!

80th birthday family reunion
We had a total of 18 family members coming to the party so this house was our "overflow" building. We were very pleased with the house, it was very clean and had all of the appliances, dishes we could use. The parking was ample and the dock was wonderful.

Fun week on the lake
The owners were fantastic to work with. A tucked away, quiet property at the head of the creek. We enjoyed the shady boathouse, fishing and kayaking from our dock, the community beach and playground. The house had many thoughtful amenities, super plush blankets, memory foam mattress toppers, and even a little desk overlooking the lake for those of us that had to check in with work during the week. The dock is very shallow and not the best for swimming, but the beach was a short drive/healthy walk down the lane and we enjoyed it immensely. The house itself is older, but updates have been made and it more than met our needs.
